Love their cardstock - nice texture, ideal thickness and good colour range including gorgeous bling.

Love their paper patterns - well, most of them. You can't like every single one from any company, but I'm pretty keen on most of theirs.

Love that my orders are home delivered - no wasting time and expensive petrol running around to shops - of which there are none within a 45 minute drive of here anyway, at least none that I know of.

Love that they're an Aussie company with paper designed specifically for us, not to northern hemisphere seasons or to traditions\holidays that we don't follow. And that it's a 100% Aussie owned company, so the money I spend stays in my own country.

Love their quality. I will not buy stuff from cheap shops - I don't trust it, especially as there are no regulations here regarding the acid free thing. Manufacturers can slap on the 'acid free' label, but we don't know for sure. I only ever buy from companies I know and trust, even if it is a bit dearer. You get what you pay for, and my photos are too precious to take the risk.

As to quality, I just found this info about Kaszazz papers. Thought I'd pop it in here. This is taken from their facebook page, I hope I'm not being naughty by copying it - here's the link.

[Did you know that all of our Kaszazz scrapbooking papers are printed right here in South Australia, on high quality, acid free, lignin free, uncoated paper. It is certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), is made Carbon Neutral and is Archival.

(Archival paper is an especially permanent, durable acid-free paper. The international standard for permanence requires papers to have a pH of 7.5 to 8.5, contain at least 2% calcium carbonate, and contain no ground wood or unbleached fibre). The term “Buffered paper” relates specifically to a buffering agent such as calcium carbonate, which helps increase the lifespan of the paper. ] Way to go Kaszazz!


Disclaimer - I'm not affiliated with Kaszazz and am not a consultant, although I have been in the past and no doubt will be again. I just love their stuff and am happy to get this added info about it. Justifies my confidence in their products, and its great to have our own home grown company that more than holds their own against the overseas market.
